ASV_Strong : Exodus 19
1. In the third[H7992] month[H2320] after the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] were gone forth[H3318] out of the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], the same day[H3117] came[H935] they into the wilderness[H4057] of Sinai[H5514].
2. And when they were departed[H5265] from Rephidim[H7508], and were come[H935] to the wilderness[H4057] of Sinai[H5514], they encamped[H2583] in the wilderness[H4057]; and there Israel[H3478] encamped[H2583] before the mount[H2022].
3. And Moses[H4872] went up[H5927] unto God[H430], and Jehovah[H3068] called[H7121] unto him out of the mountain[H2022], saying[H559], Thus shalt thou say[H559] to the house[H1004] of Jacob[H3290], and tell[H559] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478]:
4. Ye have seen[H7200] what I did[H6213] unto the Egyptians[H4714], and how I bare[H5375] you on eagles[H5404]' wings[H3671], and brought you unto myself[H935].
5. Now therefore[H8085], if ye will obey my voice[H6963] indeed[H8085], and keep[H8104] my covenant[H1285], then ye shall be mine own possession[H5459] from among all peoples[H5971]: for all the earth is mine[H776]:
6. and ye shall be unto me a kingdom[H4467] of priests[H3548], and a holy[H6918] nation[H1471]. These are the words[H1697] which thou shalt speak[H1696] unto the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478].
7. And Moses[H4872] came[H935] and called[H7121] for the elders[H2205] of the people[H5971], and set before them all these words[H1697] which Jehovah[H3068] commanded him[H6680].
8. And all the people[H5971] answered[H6030] together[H3162], and said[H559], All that Jehovah[H3068] hath spoken[H1696] we will do[H6213]. And Moses[H4872] reported[H7725] the words[H1697] of the people[H5971] unto Jehovah[H3068].
9. And Jehovah[H3068] said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Lo[H935], I come unto thee in a thick[H5645] cloud[H6051], that the people[H5971] may hear[H8085] when I speak[H1696] with thee[H539], and may also believe thee for ever[H5769]. And Moses[H4872] told[H5046] the words[H1697] of the people[H5971] unto Jehovah[H3068].
10. And Jehovah[H3068] said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Go[H3212] unto the people[H5971], and sanctify[H6942] them to-day[H3117] and to-morrow[H4279], and let them wash[H3526] their garments[H8071],
11. and be ready[H3559] against the third[H7992] day[H3117]; for the third[H7992] day[H3117] Jehovah[H3068] will come down[H3381] in the sight[H5869] of all the people[H5971] upon mount[H2022] Sinai[H5514].
12. And thou shalt set bounds[H1379] unto the people[H5971] round about[H5439], saying[H559], Take heed[H8104] to yourselves[H5927], that ye go not up into the mount[H2022], or touch[H5060] the border[H7097] of it[H5060]: whosoever toucheth the mount[H2022] shall be surely[H4191] put to death[H4191]:
13. no hand[H3027] shall touch[H5060] him[H5619], but he shall surely be stoned[H5619], or[H176] shot[H3384] through[H3384]; whether it be beast[H929] or[H176] man[H376], he shall not live[H2421]: when the trumpet[H3104] soundeth long[H4900], they shall come up[H5927] to the mount[H2022].
14. And Moses[H4872] went down[H3381] from the mount[H2022] unto the people[H5971], and sanctified[H6942] the people[H5971]; and they washed[H3526] their garments[H8071].
15. And he said[H559] unto the people[H5971], Be[H1961] ready[H3559] against the third[H7969] day[H3117]: come[H5066] not near a woman[H802].
16. And it came to pass on the third[H7992] day[H3117], when it was morning[H1242], that there were thunders[H6963] and lightnings[H1300], and a thick[H3515] cloud[H6051] upon the mount[H2022], and the voice[H6963] of a trumpet[H7782] exceeding[H3966] loud[H2389]; and all the people[H5971] that were in the camp[H4264] trembled[H2729].
17. And Moses[H4872] brought forth[H3318] the people[H5971] out of the camp[H4264] to meet[H7125] God[H430]; and they stood[H3320] at the nether[H8482] part of the mount[H2022].
18. And mount[H2022] Sinai[H5514], the whole of it[H6225], smoked, because[H6440] Jehovah[H3068] descended[H3381] upon it in fire[H784]; and the smoke[H6227] thereof ascended[H5927] as the smoke[H6227] of a furnace[H3536], and the whole mount[H2022] quaked[H2729] greatly[H3966].
19. And when the voice[H6963] of the trumpet[H7782] waxed[H6963] louder[H1980] and[H2390] louder[H2390], Moses[H4872] spake[H1696], and God[H430] answered[H6030] him by a voice[H6963].
20. And Jehovah[H3068] came down[H3381] upon mount[H2022] Sinai[H5514], to the top[H7218] of the mount[H2022]: and Jehovah[H3068] called[H7121] Moses[H4872] to[H413] the top[H413] of the mount[H2022]; and Moses[H4872] went up[H5927].
21. And Jehovah[H3068] said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Go down[H3381], charge[H5749] the people[H5971], lest they break through[H2040] unto Jehovah[H3068] to gaze[H7200], and many[H7227] of them perish[H5307].
22. And let the priests[H3548] also[H5066], that come near to Jehovah[H3068], sanctify[H6942] themselves[H3068], lest Jehovah break forth upon them[H6555].
23. And Moses[H4872] said[H559] unto Jehovah[H3068], The people[H5971] cannot[H3201] come up[H5927] to mount[H2022] Sinai[H5514]: for thou didst charge[H5749] us[H559], saying, Set bounds[H1379] about the mount[H2022], and sanctify it[H6942].
24. And Jehovah[H3068] said[H559] unto him[H3212], Go, get thee down[H3381]; and thou shalt come up[H5927], thou[H175], and Aaron with thee[H3548]: but let not the priests and the people[H5971] break through[H2040] to come up[H5927] unto Jehovah[H3068], lest he break forth upon them[H6555].
25. So Moses[H4872] went down[H3381] unto the people[H5971], and told them[H559].
